The two began talking and it was clear they had a connection. Blake told BuzzFeed News, "The first time we ever met in person, I remember being so intimidated by her beauty."

Blake then began a journal about her feelings for Paine. "Writing has always been a passion of mine, so I decided I would let my writing tell me whether or not she was the person I should be with," she said.

She wrote in it often to express her feelings for Paine, but kept it to herself -- until July. Then, Blake took Paine to dinner and gave the journal to her and asked her out.

The two have been together ever since, and now Paine keeps the journal when they're apart as a way to stay connected to Blake.
